Reviews for Leela Thai Restaurant in Santee, CA
The server (Lin) was lovely and welcoming. The food was alright. I'd give it another chance since I came around 1500 and I... suspect the food was sitting since lunch. Taste was not bad, but it wasn't good either. The pictures I took were after I've hada couple bites, so don't be put off. Sticky rice mango was good! Read more
Good quality Thai dishes. There was a fair quantity of meat for the prices. Service was fast and friendly. The Roast Duck... Curry was very tasty, and the pineapple gave a complimentary sweet balance. The Drunken Noodles with beef, shrimp, andcalamari, was also very good. However, the amount and size of the calamari were small. The spiciness was spot on with ourrequests. Read more
I had the squid appetizer and drunken noodle with the mango juice. Service was great, the server was fast and friendly.
Great Thai restaurant. Has all the dishes, drinks, and desserts one can expect for an American Thai venue. Service and food... quality are good as expected. If you're in the mood for good Thai, this is a place to try. I highly recommend their "freshrolls" appetizer. Read more
This is an authentic Thai restaurant we visited for lunch. The food was reasonable but not the best Thai I have had. That said... the food came out fast and the staff were willing to accommodate last minute change requests. My complaint and the reason Ididn't score it a 5* is that the curry was too watery, a soupy consistency. Most places I have had Panang or any Thai stylecurry came with much thicker base, a sauce rather than a soup. Here, we seem to have compromised saucy thickness for speed ofdelivery. Again, the Pad Thai was sweet, but this is becoming an endemic throughout Thai restaurants: if we want to tone downon heat we get more sweet. Read more

Great food, good service with no wait! I had the drunken noodles with chicken at a level 5 for spice and it was a little too hot... for me but the dish was delicious. The sampler appetizer was ok, nothing special and I probably wouldn't order it again. Fordessert we had the sweet rice with mango and it was amazing. I highly recommend it! We will definitely be back again. Read more
